GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY.

The Union Labor party, from present
indications, will make the improperly
INLAND doctrine unpopular. The farm
ers as mass must oppose such theory,
and the intelligent working men in the
cities who have any hope of earning a
home will not favor plan that would
make the Government proprietor and
reduce them to seTfdOm, for it Is really
not an exaggeration of terms 10 say so.
The Union Labor party, if it takes this
ground with the farmers, will
greatly outnumber the George patty
and the contest will develop true
Democratic principles. Why cannot the
fanatics or lunatics see that gov
ernmental proprietorship of everything
would only amount to trying again the
system which In various forms has been
fought by the cause of freedom until the
governmental proprietOrs, such as kings
and barons, have ceased in the most civ
iized countries to hold all the reins Of
tyranny If the Government owns every
thing it must virtually own the people,
for all business would be Government mo.
nopoly, and all employment would be
Government patronage. The child would
be put in school by order Of
school commissioners, who would
be deputy autocrats The youth
would be assigned to a trade or pio-
fesslon or some special training; or if he
were allowed to choose one of course his
assignment to work would be by order of
the Government, and the man would be
forced to use up his life and labor in a
groove made for him. There could be no
competition in business because prices
would be regulated not on natural adj
iustment of supply and demand, but on
arbitrary rules to suit the plan of Govern
men ownership.
In fact, man would cease to be a free
individual and become a small part of a
machine to move at the touch of the
master The only difference between
this machine and the most tyrannical
despotism known in history would be in
name, and one of the wisest of modern
virtues in warning us agains! it justly
calls it "The Coming Slavery"
If the Union Labor party will under
stand this and rally the opposition to the
George party it may be forgiven a good
many mistakes in another direction.

upon this opportunity to try TO win over

FIGHTING THE DEVIL FIRE

mics that our theory is correct that the
State is engaged in defyng the law on
the debt question, and that such policy
naturally leads TO the George idea Of con
fscaling either land or lawful obligations
The TINES pointed ont that there was
no difference in kind between the Dis
potch's views in this respect and Henry
George views on property when brought
TO a moral and practical standard that
both involved the idea Of forcibly de
priving individuals Of their property. In
seeking to sever company with Mr.
George the Dispeth yesterday argued
that II is not for dcfgiH9 the law as laid
down by the United States Supreme
Court respecting coupons out omd'Hg it,
1t would not have the Legislature declare
that man shall not pay his taxes in
coupons but would have that body make
the use of coupons so difficult and so
burdcnsome that the taxpayer would find
it more to his interest to pay in money
than in coupons
And this our esteemed ncighbor terms
fighting the devil with fire"
Was ever such morals preached be-
fore?
Was ever anything in the casuistry Of
the Jesuit that equals IT,
The citizen is not to be denied his right
but the exercise of it is to be made so
burdcnsome that he will turn from it
with sickness and disgust.
The DtspqtH cannot escape from the
logic of its position which places it upon
the side of those who are seeking to de
nyto a taxpayer possessed Of a coupon
the right TO pay his tax with that cou-
pom. BY its indirections and evasions it
is aiding the scheme just as much as
those who seize the taxpayers horse and
sell it after he has rendered coupons.
But under the supreme law Of the land
thattaxpayer has as much right Of proper
ty in his coupon as the DiYotch has to the
bricks and mortar of the house # owns.
We find the Dispatch then trying to de-
stroy that taxpayers property, proclaim
ing that it is right TO destroy that tax
payers property, and not by open and
avowed means, but by subtle and con
cealed devices and fighting the devil
with fire." as it calls what is virtually
opposing the law Of the land that pro-
tects that mans property right
Now Henry George would agree with
the Dispot1 that the taxpayers property
should he destroyed, but George goes in
for doing it openly and above board. lie
goc- further than the Dip0tH however,
and claims that the Dipatci's property
in its brick building should also be de
slroyed. Where is the difference then
save in the degree?
The DispotcL would destroy property
in coupons; George would destroy cou-
pons and buildings both, and there is no
difference in kind. The Dispatch and
George virtually 90 hand i'm hand mp to
the brick building, but there the Dispatch
draws ;hc line. Does the DiYatct stop
there simply because it has brick build
ing. but no coupons
With all respect to our esteemed con-
temporary, it may mean well, but It's
teachings are hardly healthy. The
sooner we abandon the idea of calling
the highest court the devil and fighting
it with fire the better for as, for we are
getting badly burned already.
